Laurel Burch (1945-2007) and her artwork have been a phenomenon since
she began making jewelry by hand and selling it on the streets of San
Francisco in the late 1960's. She was a single mother on welfare just
struggling to get by, but over the next forty years, she became an internationally
famous artist and designer with an instantly recognizable palette and
style. Laurel's vivid and vibrantly colored images are whimsical and timeless
artifacts from a mythical world of her own creation. Inspired by her travels
around the globe, her work evokes the flavors of many far off places,
yet at the same times feels distinctly homegrown, unmistakably hersboth
primitive and modern. As a self-taught painter, Laurel saw herself as
a fold artist, telling stories. On some level, her work has always been
about bringing different cultures together and about our connection with
the earth and all living things, ideas that have only increased in relevance
today.
